Thespesia populnea L. is a medicinally important plant which is used
to treat different types of diseases, especially skin diseases. The present
research work is aimed to screen the phytochemicals from leaf extracts
of Thepesia populnea. Leaf powder of Thespesia was dissolved in
different solvents viz., water, methanol, chloroform, acetone, ethyl
acetate and petroleum ether and subjected to screen for secondary
metabolites. Results revealed the presence of saponins, steroids,
phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, reducing
sugars, tannins. In the present investigation, the water and methanol
extracts yielded more number of phytochemicals than the chloroform,
acetone, and ethyl acetate. Apart from these the petroleum ether extracts showed very less
amount of phytochemical constituents. Wehope that the present study will be helpful for the
phytochemists and pharmacologists for the identification of new compounds.
